Internet Audio feed for WoS?

Currently " Cannot load M3U8. No levels to play". So either tech problem or commentary suspended?!

We have put it back together -- you ought to be able to hear it now.  We still can't make it work right on my laptop - but the Turbinator is going to make a run soon and we wanted you to be able to hear that.

That "cannot load. . ." msg means that we aren't putting anything into the system.  We've tried four or five times and haven't made it work yet -- Apple vs. Microsoft - so we're back to Gregg's 'puter.  I checked and can hear the stream now -- at least it's working.

I'm now going to see if tech support works on Sunday at Meridix so they can maybe walk me through getting it to hook up here.  Sure hope we can do it -- so we don't bring this streaming event to an end tonight.

I have the sound 5 x 5 ..... clear as a bell.

Sounds great.

Thanks for the effort.

Thanks everyone for the efforts on the broadcast, it was almost as good as being there hearing the run of the Midget.

We've got the Macbook doing the audio streaming now -- but can't monitor the audio levels to see if you can hear it.  Somebody please get in touch with me and tell me if we need to raise levels.  They are all relatively the same as before - we just don't know if we've got enough going into the audio stream.  I'll look for a quick comeback - and thenm will ask okne of you to call me if I don't see something right away.  Thanks.

Sounds a little distorted like the gain is too high.

Thanks for this.

I'm sorry about the farkled audio late this afternoon.  We tried to use this Macbook -- and had to get the software from Meridix, which we did.  But the laptop wouldn't switch to using the external mike input no matter what we tried (and I tried lots of stuff).  So we ended up having just the built-in microphone picking up the ambient sounds in the radio trailer.

There's hope for tomorrow, though.  We've located a young fella with a fine Windows-type 'puter and he'll be there at the trailer in the morning to hook it up.  Things worked okay with Gregg's laptop, right?  They oughta be just as good with this lad's machine and I'll have all day to figure out what I can do differently so I can use the Apple.

In the meantime -- thanks for all of the comments - even the cranky ones.  They helped me target what I needed to work on - and they tell me that people are listening.  Tune in again tomorrow morning.

Jon, my comment wasn't cranky.  It was merely an observation.  By the way, I've been out in the shop all day doing the initial installation of the AEM Infinity Engine management system. I did have a chance to listen to Chris's runs and I walked into the house just as Danny made his 390 pass. Anyway, thanx fo' da feed.  Wayno

[Seldom Seen Slim]

Speaking of Danny Thompson's pass this afternoon -- I wonder how much faster he would have gone if he hadn't had a bit of an incident.  According to what I heard at the table tonight he could barely see out as he was nearing the 5 mile.  And that makes what I heard earlier in the day when I was in the radio trailer with Ron Christensen.  Some of Danny's crew stopped by to ask if there was anyone in the pits that had three (3) 10-pound fire extinguisher bottles for the Thompson car. 

Sounds to me like the system triggered for some reason and made enough fog or mist or steam or something so his vision/visibility was compromised.

Well, that WAS a shakedown run, right?  Yeah -- 390++ on a shakedown run.

And I so wish you could have been out there to hear it.  When he left the push truck and got into the throttle -- it was a true shivers-down-my-back sound experience.  That sound alone made the event great for me.

This morning when I click on the Live Streaming link I get no listen now option.  Wayno

[rouse]

Me either

Hello-Hello-Hello-is anyone out there. Hello???

I guess I'll have to post this here, too.  I put it on the regular WoS topic a little while ago.

The streaming isn't running right now.  That's partly because the young lad whose machine we're going to use isn't here, and partly because nothing is happening yet.

I think I see the vehicles at the start of the long course, so maybe return runs will start up.  It sounds like the course is set up and ready and stewards are in place.  But Ron's not here to do the broadcasting, so until all of these things come together - stay tuned.

Roger that SSS

Thanks for the update, I thought I just didn't have enough sense to operate this thing.

By the way, Connie and I should see you folks out there Friday. I Hope.
